The National ALEC Association and the Prepaid Communications Association (NALA/PCA), formed in 1996, is a non-profit association dedicated to supporting local residential telephone service providers throughout the United States.

NALA/PCA was established to:
  • Represent the prepaid dialtone industry in federal and state regulatory and legislative arenas and promote parity between the ILECs and NALA/PCA members;
  • Establish cooperative and productive relations between prepaid dialtone providers and other telecommunication service providers, including local exchange carriers;
  • Inform the media, public and consumers about the industry;
  • Educate and protect the consumer by developing and promoting industry guidelines for fair and proper service to the consumer.
NALA/PCA specializes in legislative and regulatory initiatives and negotiations with the large ILECs. NALA/PCA continuously files comments and pleadings and attends hearings that affect the growth of the competitive prepaid communications industry.
NALA/PCA membership consists of carriers, vendors, and individuals who have an interest in the promotion of the prepaid local telecommunications industry.
